Have you ever wanted to run or play in a brief adventure that lasted only one session or a handful of sessions? Perhaps one of your group's regular players is absent and you need to insert something to fill in the gap. Maybe you need a change of pace in between regular campaigns. XENOZINE can help.
Up for some horror for your 5E fantasy campaign or just an entertaining one shot? Check out the collaboration with Windmill Slam Games, The Haunting of Blye Street, available as a Pay What You Want title.

The Haunting of Blye Street
(A Pay What You Want title)
A low-level horror exploration adventure for the world's greatest RPG!
For years, Blye Street, in the hamlet of Harvel’s Joust has attracted visitors from far and wide. It had a reputation for being the best shopping experience that the province had to offer: fine clothing, dear perfumes, children’s toys, books, delicacies from all over the world, quality arms and armor, and even items of magical nature could be found here - for the right price.
On a cold autumn night three years ago, a thick torrent of smoke sprouted from Blye Street. The fire razed like the flames were fanned by the devil himself, engulfing the street and the neighboring houses in an inferno. After the fire brigade had managed to douse the final fires, not much was left standing.
Over two dozen people were believed to have died in that fire, but only two bodies were ever recovered. Although the townsfolk believe that the fire was started intentionally, no culprit was ever arrested. In the aftermath, Blye Street was sealed off from the public. With its main attraction torched and its wealthiest entrepreneurs either dead or destitute, most townsfolk abandoned the Harvel’s Joust. Only a handful of inhabitants remain, and all know to stay away from Blye Street. Those that left, however, started a rumor that leaped through the inns, taverns, and alehouses of the country like an ember in a hayshed. According to those that have left, one night every year, the Night of the Inferno, Blye Street rises from its ashes.
The party returns to Blye Street on this night to find answers. Who started the fire? And Why? And what is causing the once-lauded shopping street to rise from its ashes like a phoenix?
Happy Halloween!
